EDITACTION -- select an edit template

EDITACTION defined in a topic or preference setting will define the use of an editaction template instead of the standard edit. If EDITACTION is defined as text, then hide the form. If EDITACTION is defined as form hide the normal text area and only edit the form.

Syntax: %EDITACTION% (returning either text or form)

Expands to: %EDITACTION%

Note: When EDITACTION is defined as text or form the Edit and Edit Raw buttons simply add ;action=text or ;action=form to the URL for the edit script. If you have defined EDITACTION in a topic setting or preference setting you can still edit the topic content or the form by removing the ;action=form or ;action=text from the edit URL in the browser and reload.

Example: <select>%LANGUAGES{format="<option $marker value='$langtag'>$langname</option>" selection="%LANGUAGE%"}%</select> creates an option list of the available languages with the current language selected (this topic)

LOCALSITEPREFS -- web.topicname of site preferences topic

The full name of the local site preferences topic. These local site preferences overload the system level preferences defined in TWiki.TWikiPreferences.

The record value in the following format:FIELD_NAME=FIELD_VALUEFIELD_NAME=FIELD_VALUE ...

$marker or $marker()

Expands to marker for the item matching selection only

$_FILED_NAME or $_FIELD_NAME()

Please be noted that you need to put _ (underscore) in front of a field name. $_FIELD_NAME$ yields the value of the specified field. If the specified field does not exist in the record, it returns the null string ("").

?FIELD_NAME?IF_FIELD_HAS_VALUE?

If the specified field has value and it's neither 0 nor the null string (""), it's evaluated as IF_FIELD_HAS_VALUE. Otherwise, it's evaluated as the null string. This is like q/.../ in Perl. A non-word character following ?FIELD_NAME becomes the terminator; i.e. you can write: ?FIELD_NAME:IF_TRUE: Specifically, the following characters can be used as the delimiter: ! # % ' / : ? @ ^ ` | ~= is excluded because it clashes with a parameter specification in a URL (?name=value).

?!FIELD_NAME?IF_FIELD_HAS_NO_VALUE?

Similar to above but it's opposite. If the field has value, it's evaluated as the null string. Otherwise, it's evaluated as IF_FIELD_HAS_NO_VALUE.

$question

Replaced with ? after the ?FIEL_DNAME and ?!FIELD_ANME constructs are processed.

"| $_ | $__ |"

selection="..."

Comma separated list of record IDs to be excluded. You can use regular expression. If you specify Trash\d*, then Trash, Trash1, Trash2, ... are exluded but LightTrash and TrashBag are not excluded
